5.1 Upgrading IDH4 Series Modem Firmware
The rmware is upgraded using standard DOCSIS methods as dened in RFC4639.
There are two ways to upgrade the modem’s rmware: By directly setting the appropriate MIB parameters
in the docsDevSoftware branch, or by including the appropriate SNMP parameters and values in the
modem’s DOCSIS Conguration File, stored on the TFTP server's root directory.
Both methods are explained below.
5.1.1 Identifying the Modem and Obtaining Firmware Files
The cable modem rmware in the IDH4 Series requires its own rmware and manufacturer's
Code Verication Certicate (CVC le).
Contact Alpha Technologies to obtain the latest rmware and manufacturer's CVC les.
